In reality, however, it was the top-secret headquarters of Britain's Government Code and Cypher School--and the site where Germany's legendary Enigma code was finally cracked. There, the nation's most brilliant mathematical minds--including Alan Turing, whose discoveries at Bletchley would fuel the birth of modern computing--toiled alongside debutantes, factory workers, and students on projects of international importance. Until now, little has been revealed about ordinary life at this extraordinary facility. Drawing on remarkable first-hand interviews, \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Lives of Codebreakers\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the entertainments, pastimes, and furtive romances that helped ease the incredible pressures faced by these covert operatives as they worked to turn the tide of World War II.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSINCLAIR MCKAY is the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Lives of Codebreakers \u003c\/i\u003e(published in the UK as \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Life of Bletchley Park\u003c\/i\u003e) and\u003ci\u003e The Secret Listeners for Aurum, \u003c\/i\u003e as well as histories of Hammer films, the James Bond films, and the pastime of rambling.
